For the vast majority of Americans, I’m sure the tax increase would not be nearly as large as the income gain.

You may be sure, but I’ll need some hard evidence on both the gain and cost first. The truth is that this is all speculation based on a program that hasn’t even taken on a final form yet.

…individuals who have too much money.

“Too much” according to whom? And why is it anyone’s right to relieve them of this supposed excess in the first place?

For the vast majority of Americans, I’m sure the tax increase would not be nearly as large as the income gain. The government would likely let the burden of paying for healthcare on businesses as well as individuals who have too much money.

…while requiring a raise in taxes, would mean larger paychecks for American workers…

Larger until the increased taxes are taken out, you mean.
